four pound would be around 32 dozen. Minnows are dirty, do you have a good filter system set up?
I have a 56 Gallon Aquarium that I plan on keeping minnows in. How many pounds could I hold at a time? I plan on buying 4 pounds of minnows at a time. I would buy during week and use on weekend. They would only be in there 1-2 weeks max.

I keep 2 pounds of medium minnows in about 20 gallons of water. They’ve kept for 2 months. Got a cheap little filter (pump) and 2 small aerators....I change the water every 2 weeks due to fish food, etc.

I'd like to set up a bucket to keep them. How would you keep the water cool enough in the summer?

in summer keep in ac room if possible or put gallon jug of ice but have to do daily .it is hard to keep bait is summer.
I just have a 55 gallon plastic drum in the garage (plastic kind) with two hang on the back filters and a air pump keeps around 100+ just fine I keep some small crawdads in the bottom to clean up waste (yes they snag a fish every now and then) I do get some loss but not a ton in the summer I will add some ice to cool it down but it wont get real hot where I keep them. I have thought of setting up 4-5 of them and keeping some of them river prawns in the bottom. That thought was quickly set aside by my better half lol
